https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-to-meet-russias-sergei-lavrov-for-white-house-meeting-this-week-face-the-nation/
White House National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien says the administration is "working" on an official visit between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and President Trump. The meeting would come amid a highly contentious impeachment process for Mr. Trump, who is all but certain to be impeached by the House of Representatives.
"You'll have to wait and see. But I think there's a possibility that'll happen. We're working on it," O'Brien told CBS News' Margaret Brennan in a post-interview conversation on "Face the Nation."
Asked what the purpose of the visit would entail, O'Brien explained it's all about "reciprocity."
"When [Secretary Mike] Pompeo has gone to Russia, [Vladimir] Putin's seen him. And one of the things that we've said with the- with the Chinese and the Russians is- and others, is we want reciprocity. And so Putin's met with ... Pompeo. I think as a matter of reciprocity, that's something we're looking at. But we're also looking at some other things. And we'll see if we can get there," O'Brien said.

some more Israeli top secret information. Or maybe Trump wants to rat out some stuff about Canada or France, because you know Trudeau and Macron are two-Faced.
